I think this is a testament of how good the defensive game plans were last night. Rams defense has been severely overrated for most of the year. (they do seem to do a lot better with Talib in)

Patriots defense was a bend but not break kind of defense for most of the year judging by the low number of points allowed, but giving up the higher yards. The Rams defense was a bend and a break defense judging by the points given up and the yards given up.

Wade vastly over-performed last night, while McVay simply shit the bed. To only manage 3 fucking points when you were averaging 33 per game? BB will be living rent free in his head from here on out. You don't recover from ass-kickings like that.

So you're saying there's a chance sfok? Woohoo!

Not sure if anyone has brought this up yet, but viewership of the Super Bowl was reported to be at a 10 year low.

When i heard all the chatter after the championship game, about all the people not watching the Super Bowl because of the Patriots, i really wondered what the actual numbers would be, and if it would reflect that. And now we know. I'm kind of curious how much more it would decline next year if the Pats go in again.

It's almost like everyone's tired of seeing the Pats in the Super Bowl.

And I hear Nawleans had a hell of a party, ratings were almost cut in half down there.

Guarantee if it was a high scoring game the ratings would have been different

Pats-Eagles last year had the fewest viewers since '09, and that was a shootout.

I also think the Rams not having a fanbase played into it a bit, Saints-Pats probably would've been better in that regard.

More like in every regard.

LA doesn't care about pro football. IDK why they have 2 teams to begin with.

Don’t like the “training” current and future fans only to appreciate high-scoring games. People would rather see a DB slip and fall down leaving a TE open for a silly 30 yd waltz into the end zone than watch a S close 20 yds on a receiver to tip away a 3rd and 8 pass.

Good defense is fun to watch.

Lots more going on in this SB, just sayin . . .
